Big government makes small citizens.

For Al Gore and Paul Ehrlich and Co., whatever the problem, the solution is always the same. Whether it's global cooling, global warming, or overpopulation, we need bigger government, more regulation, higher taxes, and a massive transfer of power from the citizens to some unelected self-perpetuating crisis lobby.

Anything that shifts power from the individual judgment of free citizens to government is a bad thing.

Government health care changes the relationship between the citizen and the state, and, in fact, I think it's an assault on citizenship.

Americans and other Westerners who want their families to enjoy the blessings of life in a free society should understand that the life we've led since 1945 in the Western world is very rare in human history. Our children are unlikely to enjoy anything so placid, and may well spend their adult years in an ugly and savage world unless we decide that who and what we are is worth defending.

The Democrats smell blood and don't want to be told that it's their own.

It's not that I place less value on Palestinian lives, but that Chairman Arafat and his chums in Hamas do.
